I read Exploring the world of lucid dreaming by Stephen LaFarge (sp?) and I think he mentioned something about an ancient group using marijuana to help them attain lucidity. I've tried smoking some before going to bed and it seems to increase the vividness of my dreams and it eases my mind. |

Seroquel is an anti psychotic medication that does in fact have a hypnotic effect. I have never heard of marijuana having any effect on LD'ing. If you wish to learn about the effect substances have on lucid dreaming, I would suggest "Advanced Lucid Dreaming; The Power of Supplements" by Thomas Yuschak. I'm reading it now. |

Yeah. If you want to get into supplements and their effect on dreaming you need this book. |

It doesn't sound like you intended to try it, but i thought i'd warn you that seroquel can be very dangerous. |

I've seen a lot of threads and discussion on the effects of pot on LDs. Based on what I've seen it looks like too much pot trashes dream recall for most people, so if they did get lucid they forget about it. Most of the posts are about getting really stoned. I'm not sure what effect light pot use might have. |

I have a friend who is on anti-depressants and he unintentionally has a lucid dream every night. He didn't even know what one was until I explained to him. I can look in to it for you.. although I don't recommend you start taking anti-depressants to have better dreams |

i bought some calea zacatechichi, and have yet to obtain lucidity, but have had some very vivid and obscure dreams after smoking it. |
|
Yeah, gotta agree with seeker28, pot destroys recall. I can average about 2-3 pages (single spaced) of recall per night with no weed in my system, but if I'm stoned the day/evening before, I'm lucky if I get half a page. Which is rather frustrating, since I from the bits that I can recall, my dreams after having weed are pretty intense. |

When I smoked weed I would get lucid 90% of the time |

In very many cases, the visionary quality, the quality of the vision so to say, spills over, into the external world, so that the experiencer, when he opens his eyes, sees the outer world transfigured...
WEll I used to smoke weed and to behonest it must have been WAY too much weed cause 90% of the time I didn't remember jack sh*t. though when I occasionally drink I always have very vivid dreams that I tend to remember very well. Now I have never actually become lucid while drinking, I always just end up trashed in the dream and do really stupid sh*t. I have tried salvia and that experience was very VERY much like a dream, as it will pretty much shut you down and throw you right into a dream state. though without an open mind it can be extremely scary, due to the fact that your fully concious and then you just get slammed into this dream world. If I had to guess which "supplement" would increase chances of lucidity I would take some Magic mushrooms before bed and see what happens! |

a threshold dose of datura seems to increase dream vividness and awareness |
|
Datura???? Are you kidding me? Why would you suggest something potentially fatal (and if you've been paying attention to the media has been fatal) as a means to increase lucidity. |
